With Arsenal drawing 1-1 away to Everton lunchtime Saturday, Liverpool will only need 11 more points, beginning from Sunday’s match against Fulham, to win the Premier League title.
The Reds’ 1-0 win at home to the Blues on Wednesday night ensured they went 12 points clear of the Gunners, who saw off Fulham on Tuesday.
It meant the pressure was back on Arsenal as they made the trip to Goodison Park, and they dropped two more points.
Only 11 points are required for Arne Slot to win the Premier League title in his first season in charge of Liverpool, which would be a remarkable achievement.
The earliest that the Reds could now wrap up the title is at home to Tottenham on Sunday, April 27, depending on Arsenal‘s results.
With the Gunners preparing for two huge Champions League quarter-final ties with Real Madrid, though, there is every chance they drop more points before then.
A guard of honour from Arsenal on Sunday, May 11 is now more likely, which would feel particularly sweet.
